Not an expert on LOTW but I believe it will NOT match a log entry for
KI0SK/R with a log signed by KI0SK.  I also suspect the if you submit a
rover log as a /R and someone who you worked submits their log with KI0SK
without the /R it also will not match.  I'm tempted to resubmit some of my
rover logs signed by KE6FI (without the /R) and see if I get some matches.
